Jayne (Husband): Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature. Mal (Wife): How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? Jayne (Husband): If I could make you purtier, I would. Mal (Wife): You are not the man I met a year ago.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

First up, administrative note: Cally's card draw exhausted the Leadership deck. I've reshuffled the discards.

Cally pops over to start fixing Pegasus. Well, here's your problem: there's an enemy ship stuck in there! Cally's crisis card is:

Crippled Raider
Current Player's Choice

Cally, when you're ready, please post your choice.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

BSG (Starbuck)

Passing that check would be sweet, but I can't help with it in any way. Can't help with the die roll either.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

BSG (Dee-claratory)

I can help with the check, and I can make Blue more powerful, if that's what people play.

Our wings are not tired

BSG (Roslin)

I can't help with this check.

BSG (Dee-pressed)

It's looking like we may want to roll high instead, because failing the check would not be good. Can others help?

Thrive to spite them

BSG (Cally)

I'm not going to be much help with the check either.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

BSG (Doctor Do some!)

I have one card that could help either way. That's right kids, one card that can do either option.

As for advice, the hit to popluation would be bad if we fail. The ship in the air is a crapshoot as to what it's carrying. If folks think the check can't be passed, then go with the flak in the air. I think we shoud go for it. Partially because I like having clear skies.

BSG

It would be really nice to pass this check, but right now we've only Baltar and Dee who can help. Unless Six and Tigh can come through it looks like there's a better chance with the dice.

BSG (Dee)

And Baltar's got an SP, which increases our odds from 50% to 75%. I like those odds. Better than our odds of passing the check.

Well, unless he's talking about Calculations, but I have yet to see that ever be used in a game.

"...and then Legolas and the Hulk destroy the entire Greek army." - Penny Arcade

BSG(Sixthusiastic)

I can help a good bit, more if we're willing to be Reckless(winks at Gaius). I say go for the check.
